Light blue, white and pink are the colours of the Trans Pride flag. This door represents trans pride and trans inclusion. One way to help include trans and non-binary people is to tell people your pronouns when you introduce yourself, always ask what someone’s pronouns are, and make sure to use them! Pronouns are words like ‘he’, ‘she’, or ‘they’. By using the right pronouns for people, you let them know that you respect their gender identity, and you understand that identity is more complicated and personal than just what someone looks like.
It can sometimes take a little getting used to if someone uses different pronouns to what you’re used to, but it’s always worth putting in the effort. If you make a mistake just apologise quickly and move on – and make sure to use the right pronouns next time.
